Cat water fountains are they a good idea?

Tilly wakes me on a regular basis in the small hours of the morning for me to turn the bath tap on she will only drink from running water, so am thinking of investing in a water fountain i have had a non electric one and that was a waste of space, would appreciate comments

Best Answer: Yes I think its a great idea, I have three of them, a lot of cats will only drink from running water and my cats love their fountains, but if your cat is getting you up in the night to get her a drink then I would have her checked for renal problems - excessive drinking is a key indicator.

My fountains are made by petmate and are silent - just stay away from the bubble type fountains as none of my cats liked that sort at all, they are noisy and block up all the time.

My cats like consuming from a typical fountain in which the water flows over a rock, no water trickling sound. Also, I have a enormous watering can (plastic) that I fill to the highest. Don't have water or fountain close the meals and or muddle field. Put water in a number of areas, cats are lazy. If your cat best eats rainy meals the water consumption is beautiful top, in case your cat eats mainly dry meals placed a water bowl in each room. difference water everyday, rinsing the bowls with sizzling water, no cleaning soap. Put a water bowl within the tub bath. If the cat beverages out of it attempt to slowly transfer the water bowl out of the tub bath. If it really works I could simply preserve a water bowl in there.

Most cats like them a lot and if your cat loves running water she should enjoy drinking from a fountain.

If you get one put it on a cafeteria type tray so if she plays with the water it doesn't end up all over the floor. Keep an eye on her with it for the first few days to make sure she isn't inspired to put things in it. Some cats are. You might wake up to find her toys, wrappers from the garbage, a pair of panties, in the fountain.

I've had the Drinkwell Cat Water Fountain for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I have two cats and they love that they can have access to fresh, cool water whenever they want. Its very quiet too. Its comes with a filter so the water is cleaned before the cats drink it - we have hard water here so that is important to me. This is what I've got: http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/drinkwell-cat-fountain

Cats love running water thats fresh and cold. I think its a great idea to get a water fountain for your cat.
I gotta get one for my cat one day. Oh and hey look on the good side you won't have to put water in it every 6 hours or so.
